With a degree in Social Work and spending the first part of my career in child welfare, I became interested in mediation because I genuinely care about people and families. I received Basic and Family Mediation Trainings in early 2019, working throughout the spring and summer to complete my apprenticeship and become affiliated with Concord Mediation Center and The Resolution Center. I completed the Specialized Alternative Dispute Resolution and Elder Issues Mediation trainings in 2022 and continue to seek opportunities to further my knowledge. As a supervisory mediator, I coach students at Creighton and the University of Nebraska Law Schools.
